Man has been sailing the Greek Seas for more than 9,000 years. This means that ships have been sinking for over 9,000 years. These sunken ships were carrying varied cargoes, maritime objects, weapons, sculptures and art forms, jewelry, coins and varied personal items reflecting ancient life in Greece.
